EASTER IN BRITAIN

Following the programme of the course "Learning and Teaching English celebrations", last wednesday, Neda Milenova, teacher trainer and translator, told us about Easter in Britain.  

Neda presented its origin as well as unknown customs and traditions that take place in Britain during Easter.  

We did different and interesting activities, some of them in small groups and in an interactive way, discusing them and adding new ideas and ways to adapt the activities to the students´age. We even had a little contest with prizes: Chocolate eggs!!

At the end of the session three of the participants gave talks about the celebration we dealt with in the previous session and that they carried out with their students, about Saint Patrick's Day. 

Next 18th april we will talk about  the Olympic games and the Fifth of May. 
Don´t skip the class!!

  1. A very nice class. I learnt a lot about Easter in Britain. I think I'm going to do something with my secondary students, probably a similar activity to the one we did in groups to get some Easter chocolate eggs.

  3. I could enjoy and learn a lot thanks to Neda´s Easter talk, indeed. I also had a good time taking new ideas from the group of mates who told us their experiences cellebrating Saint Patrick´s Day at School.
